The Pirogue Poem by Adriaan Noel

Colors of pink and green
Floating on turquoise and blue
Going where we have never been
One pirogue tied with rope and glue

Ah, my captain, a nice boat
Ah, yes and a party as well
Is that Rum in my throat
In my head rings a bell

What do you use it for
Just pulling along
Things go wrong
We can all be lucky for

Some hands, some paint
Just in case we need a saint
The moments we have is fine
But the pirogue is our future on a line
